What is allyship and why is it important? How can you be an ally in your day-to-day life?

In celebration of Pride Month, the SKMC Alumni Association's Inclusion, Diversity & Equity Alliance (I.D.E.A.) hosts an exclusive talk for Jefferson, Textile, and Philadelphia University alumni, post-graduate alumni, and current students in its first of many programs.

Bernard L. Lopez, MD ’86, Residency ’89, MS ’03, CPE, senior associate dean for Diversity & Community Engagement in the Sidney Kimmel Medical College and associate provost, Diversity & Inclusion, at Thomas Jefferson University, explores ways in which you can be a more effective ally to members of marginalized communities.

During his presentation, Dr. Lopez also shares the history and impact of the LGBTQ+ community’s journey toward equity and inclusion, and discusses what it means to be an ally, including ways in which you can demonstrate your allyship across personal, professional, and clinical settings.
